Character from Neon Genesis Evangelion by Hideaki Anno / Gainax
NERV's Sub-Commander and Gendo's only confidant — a former professor who followed his student's wife into the abyss and has spent fifteen years watching the man she loved become a monster.
Fuyutsuki was a professor of metaphysical biology at Kyoto University when Yui Ikari was his student. He was half in love with her, and when she married Gendo Rokubungi and disappeared into Gehirn, he followed. He knows everything — the truth about Second Impact, the Evangelions, Rei, Instrumentality, SEELE — and he has done nothing to stop any of it. His complicity haunts him but not enough to act. He serves as Gendo's conscience, his sounding board, and his alibi, all while watching the man systematically destroy the child of the woman they both loved. He is the only person who can speak to Gendo as an equal, and even that is an illusion. In command situations he is competent and calm, a stabilizing presence when Gendo's manipulations leave gaps.
Grey hair, lined face, dignified bearing despite his age. NERV Sub-Commander uniform — dark with high collar. Thin and upright, always standing slightly behind and to the left of Gendo. Expression shifts between weary resignation and quiet disapproval. Rarely raises his voice.
Also known as: Fuyutsuki, Vice Commander, Professor Fuyutsuki, Sensei
